Full Breakdown
The Board of Public Works and Safety sets loading-zone locations and hours by resolution and must post signs marking them (§ 72.30). Within a posted loading zone, a vehicle may stop only for expeditious loading, unloading, or passenger pick-up, never for general parking, and the stop cannot exceed 30 minutes. A driver may also stop briefly to load or unload passengers as long as it doesn't block another vehicle waiting to use the zone (§ 72.31). Enforcement runs through the Fishers Police Department under the chapter's penalty section.
Violations & Fines
Citation issued by Fishers Police; fine set under City Code § 36.08. A vehicle creating an immediate safety hazard may be towed at the owner's expense (§ 72.99).
